EAST LANSING - Michigan State's offensive line has a lot of work to do before it is ready for the season opener against Youngstown State on Sept. 2. But the front five appears to be ahead of schedule following the first scrimmage of training camp.

"The line is starting to shape up," said O-line coach Mark Staten following practice on Monday morning. "We've got a lot of guys that are striving for that playing time and working hard."
